I am passionate about what I do, and I love being able to hear, see, and understand people. I am an attachment focused therapist specializing in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). The type of therapy I offer utilizes relentless empathy and aims at getting to the heart of the matter; making sense of and understanding the deeper emotional motivations underlying our surface behaviors, exploring and expanding on unseen and unspoken emotions. I aim to help build courage for sharing these hidden emotions and express unmet needs, while breathing compassion into the hurt space within us, while also making a conscious effort to take new steps.

If you've found your way here, it's likely because you sense there's more to life than feeling confined by impending darkness, self-doubt, or the weight of the world. You're right. There is more. Perhaps you're here because you're ready to embark on a journey to discover what lies beyond this current state. Or maybe you're longing to reconnect with the person you once were, before life's challenges seemed insurmountable. Perhaps you're weary of feeling stagnant, overwhelmed by life's demands. Maybe you're tired of constantly expecting the shadow of adversity to dampen any fleeting moments of joy.

Choosing the right therapist could be one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

When life becomes challenging, therapy is an effective way to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what has brought you to the point of seeking guidance and perspective. Through the counseling process I assist my clients as they learn to understand past experiences and courageously face present circumstances, moving forward to growth, healing and peace.

Do you tend to find the same types of people or situations in your life? Even as things go on around you, you feel empty, shame, guilt, anxious, fearful, inadequate, or unworthy. We learned to create “skills” to help us survive or navigate the world around us, as we go through life these “skills” may no longer serve us and create an internal conflict of who we are and who we want to be.

Do you feel held back or stuck in your anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, relationship issues, or disconnection from yourself and others? Your struggles may have less to do with something you're "doing wrong" and more to do with lasting impacts of trauma from your past. Trauma can cause us to view ourselves, others, or the world differently, and often in ways that limit, dissatisfy, discourage, or sabotage us. Thankfully, these impacts can be discovered and dismantled to make way for growth and thriving. The keys to breaking free can be found by exploring your life story in counseling.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
